Objectives

• Develop a cohesive interior design concept for university buildings that reflects Saudi Electronic University’s identity and academic mission.
• Optimize space utilization across administrative, academic, and support facility zones.
• Create flexible learning environments that accommodate both traditional and hybrid digital teaching formats.
• Integrate biophilic design principles and sustainability features into interior spaces.
• Produce detailed development plans for the phased implementation of interior improvements across the university buildings.

Methodology

The design process commenced with a comprehensive space audit and user needs assessment, engaging university staff, faculty, and management through workshops and interviews. Concept design options were developed and presented for client feedback before progressing to detailed interior design documentation. Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools were used to coordinate interior design with structural and MEP systems. All designs complied with Saudi Building Code requirements and accessibility standards.

Deliverables

• Interior design concept report and mood boards.
• Detailed floor plans and space allocation schedules for all university buildings.
• Interior design drawings including finishes, furniture layouts, lighting, and joinery details.
• 3D visualization renders of key spaces.
• Material and finishes specification schedules.
• Phased development implementation plan with cost estimates.

Significance & Impact

As a pioneer of digital education in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Electronic University’s physical spaces must inspire innovation while supporting modern pedagogical approaches. This project delivered a transformed campus environment that enhances the student and staff experience, reinforcing the university’s position as a leading educational institution within the Kingdom.
